==Semier Data Tron==

== 2017 Year in Review ==
I just wanted to drop you a line because I've deleted the update needed tag from [[Semier Data Tron]] for [[Objectives: Lyran Alliance]] from the article. I updated it with detail from [[Handbook: House Steiner]], but I've crawled through O:LA and I can't find any mention of the company whatsoever - although it does talk about DropShip manufacturing in the Lyran Alliance having been absolutely hammered during the Jihad. [[Jihad Turning Points: Tharkad]] indicates that the plant was encircled by Blakist divisions and then comprehensively bombarded from orbit, so I'm guessing that it's been destroyed... but I wanted to check that there wasn't something you were aware of that I'd missed that justified the update needed tag.

Hey - sorry i've been away. I've got caught up in some other games that have captured my creative interests. I'm hoping something re-ignites my interest in CBT in the coming year.

:BM - I get what you are saying. My reasoning for including that citation is this: Since SDT is not even mentioned in Objectives: Lyran Alliance, it strongly implies that it was never rebuilt, nor are there plans to do so. You'll notice throughout the Objectives series, many inactive manufacturing centers are mentioned if their reopening is even being planned. So it seemed relevant that it was absent. I'm fine with you dropping the tag. [[User:ClanWolverine101|ClanWolverine101]] ([[User talk:ClanWolverine101|talk]]) 17:59, 2 January 2013 (PST)
 
::While I get what you're saying, I think we're on dicey ground if we start drawing conclusions from things not being mentioned in publications - in the case of Semier Data Tron, I think it'd be better to ask a question over in the Ask The Writers section if you're worried about the absence of the company being either significant or a mistake.

==TharHes Industries==
+
== Profession box position shortening ==
In a similar vein to Semier Data Tron above, I've removed the tag on TharHes Industries for Masters & Minions because I can't find anything related to the company in the book, even though I searched by company name, controlling family name and went through the entries and details on the three planets the company was based on (Arc-Royal, Tharkad and Eutin Prime). If I've missed something, let me know what you were looking at and I'll go back and add the detail in.

Hey CW,

I have just reverted your edit to the [[Elizabeth Nichole]] article and thought I should explain my thinking. A characters overview it should be pointed out that they are a Colonel in a mercenary command (and name said command) but I feel the infobox has no discernible need for the ''mercenary'' appellation since her affiliation is stated as [[Wolf's Dragoons]] directly above in the affiliation box via a wikilink. At the level of a Colonel it is a minor quibble but a lot of the better known characters and state leaders infobox's become quite unwieldy so I am trying to set a precedent of being short and concise.

[[Archon-Prince]] of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] or [[saKhan]] of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] are perfect examples of titles that can be shortened without sacrificing information.

Hi ClanWolverine, I don't think we've met yet but I've seen lots of your work over the years and respect your contributions to the wiki. I just want to ask about some mass tweaks you've been recently making to character articles such as [[https://www.sarna.net/wiki/index.php?title=Ethan_Kuhn&diff=prev&oldid=1065336 this one]]. While in most cases you're not wrong (there have been a few that you accidentally attributed to the wrong state/military), I feel like it's bloating the article leads with somewhat redundant information. Nearly every military character in the FedSuns or Lyran Commonwealth who lived around the mid-31st century will have been associated with 2 or 3 militaries if not more. The characters are already linked to their factions in the infobox and categories, and if a user clicks on the commands they were assigned to, they'll see further associations there. Do you have any particular rationale for putting it in there? Thanks, [[User:Csdavis715|Csdavis715]] ([[User talk:Csdavis715|talk]]) 04:11, 4 April 2024 (EDT)

2017 Year in Review

Hey - sorry i've been away. I've got caught up in some other games that have captured my creative interests. I'm hoping something re-ignites my interest in CBT in the coming year. Regardless, i'm proud of what people have accomplished with Sarna. ClanWolverine101 (talk) 02:42, 4 January 2018 (EST)

Profession box position shortening

Hey CW,

I have just reverted your edit to the Elizabeth Nichole article and thought I should explain my thinking. A characters overview it should be pointed out that they are a Colonel in a mercenary command (and name said command) but I feel the infobox has no discernible need for the mercenary appellation since her affiliation is stated as Wolf's Dragoons directly above in the affiliation box via a wikilink. At the level of a Colonel it is a minor quibble but a lot of the better known characters and state leaders infobox's become quite unwieldy so I am trying to set a precedent of being short and concise.

Archon-Prince of the Federated Commonwealth or saKhan of Clan Smoke Jaguar are perfect examples of titles that can be shortened without sacrificing information.

As a side note it is on my to do list to eventually make faction specific Khan / saKhan articled as part of my Category:Titles and Positions project but it is a way off at the moment.--Dmon (talk) 05:57, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

Dmon - I'm not sure i agree with that application, but if that is how we are doing it now, i understand. 09:08, 2 August 2019 (EDT)
If you disagree feel free to propose a different method, and if I think it is better I will adopt that instead. My primary objective is to try and bring all character infobox's to a common standard and methodology.--Dmon (talk) 09:52, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

Military affiliations

Hi ClanWolverine, I don't think we've met yet but I've seen lots of your work over the years and respect your contributions to the wiki. I just want to ask about some mass tweaks you've been recently making to character articles such as [this one]. While in most cases you're not wrong (there have been a few that you accidentally attributed to the wrong state/military), I feel like it's bloating the article leads with somewhat redundant information. Nearly every military character in the FedSuns or Lyran Commonwealth who lived around the mid-31st century will have been associated with 2 or 3 militaries if not more. The characters are already linked to their factions in the infobox and categories, and if a user clicks on the commands they were assigned to, they'll see further associations there.
